Jessica Kurten does that horsey stuff, she got disqualified one time because her horse tested positive for a banned substance

In true AH style she can fill me with drugs and ride me anytime

I didn't call for a ban on anything I just made a comment. Christmas is a yearly religious holiday you can voluntarily celebrate it or not.

I just think that the ~£16Bn would hve been better spent on infrastructure, schools, hospitals etc so that the people of Britain actually get some return on their ~~robbery~~ investment in the form of jobs and services.

I'm not having a go at the British people so don't get all butt-hurt over it freddy.

Not bothered with it really just hoping it doesn't eff up my commute. Or if it does mess up the city, then it messes it up so bad that I get a day or two off work.
Anyway I'll be looking forward to seening my sweetheart Yelena Isinbayeva pole-vaulting, she's a total babe.

Prehaps its appropiate that the good folks of After Hours post all their thoughts, amusing observations, the scandel, and prehaps even the odd result here.

So here we go, you excited yet?

Sick to the back teeth and dreading every moment of it.

Taylor only has to win one fight to be guaranteed of at least a bronze.

I wouldn't expect GB football to medal anyway, Brazil and Uruguay are sending strong squads. Spain's youngsters will be in with a shout too I'm sure.
